Application filed May 5,

My invention relates to: wind deflectors and refers particularly to devices of this character adaptable for use with open win-v dows. V .One of the ob ects of my invention 1s a wind deflector which, may be readily and firmly attached either fixedly orv removably to a window frame. J

Theparticular form of my'device shown in the accompanying Figures 1 to 5 inclusive comprises a sheet of corrugated cardboard scored along the lines AA and BB, to allow of the formation of the deflector plate 15 and the two end members 16 and 16. I/Vithin each lower end portion of the plate 15 and spaced from the end thereof is a slot 17 the length of the slot being slightly greater than the width of the fastening means described later. The fastening means comprises a U-shaped piece of metal 18, one edge of which is bent inwardly to form a guide and holding member 19. One side 18 of the guide 19 has a plurality of holes 20, 20, while in alignment with said holes 20, 20 there are a plurality of longer holes 21, 21.

Thejtperanen of the device is as. fol -a The fastening means 18 fixedly-attached to the window frame 22 by means of ascrew 23. through each hole 20, access for inserting.

18, thesliots 17 allowing of this movement, and the guide 19. moving along a groove 24 Withineach end-member 16, thus both guiding the'movement of the ends 16,

the screw beingthrough a hole 21. A simi- 16 and acting asa. holding means to protect V the outward disengagement of" the device while the'device may be readily removed if desired.

T shown in Figure 6 has two holes 20, 20 of the same size and in the application of, this the end 16.

'The modified form showiii in Figures 8 and 9 comprises a U-shaped member 18 without anyprongs, and with aligned holes 20, 20 of the same size.

- i In the modifledforms shown in Figures modified form of fastening means 10 and 11, the end16 has an enlargedpon tion 25 fixedly attached thereto, thus overcoming'the necessity of grooves in the end, 16. I Figure 10' has holes of different size while the holes in Figure 11 are of the same size.

In Figure 12, the fastening member 18 is cemented at 26 to the wooden window frame 22, thus overcoming the necessity'of screw fastening means.

In Figure 13, a. wooden strip 27 is cemented at 28 to the metal window frame 22. The fastening means 18 is attachedto the win dow strip 27 by means of screws 29, 29, and the deflector end 16 attached by the screw 30.

By spacing the slots 17 17 from the folding edges A-A and BB, the folding, or bending of the ends 16, 16 may be more effectively accomplished and the tearing or breaking of the device is prevented.

The construction also allows of the device being brought into close contact with thewindow frame.

It is to be noted that the length of the slots 17, 17, must be at least equal to the width of the fastening means 18 in or'der'to allow of the passage of the ends 16, 16 there through.

' metal or other suitable material, neither need it be of one piece as shown.

I do not limit myself to the particular size, shape, number, arrangement or mate rial of parts as shown and described as these are given simply as a means for describing the device of my invention.

\Vhat I claim is 1. In .a wind deflector, in combinatioma front member having an upwardly extended slot in each lower end portion, an angularly positioned end member carried by each end of the front member, and two U-shaped fastening means a portion of each of which is' capable of" passing through a said slot and capable of slidable movement along the end member.

2. In a wind deflector, in combination, a

front member having'an upwardly extended slot in each lower end portion, an angularly positioned end member carried by each end of the front member, each end member having a groove therein, two U-shaped fastening means a portion of each of which is capable of passing through a said slot and capable of slidable movement, along the end member and an inwardly extended prong carried by each U-shaped member capable of movement within a said end member groove.

3. In a wind deflector, in combination, a front member having an upwardly extended slot in each lower end portion, an angularly positioned end member carried by each end of the front member, two U-shaped fastening means'a portion of each of which is capable of passing through a said slot and capable of slidable movement along the end member to position the deflector in angular position with respect to a Window frame to which the U-shaped member is attached and means for fastening the U-shapedmember to a window frame. e

4. In a wind deflector, in combination, a front member having an upwardly extended slotin each lower end portion, an angularly positioned end member carried by each end of, the front member, two U-shaped fastening means a portionof each of which is capable of passing through a. said slot and capable of slidable movement along the end member to position the deflector in angular position with respect to a window frame to which the U-shaped member is attached and U-shaped member.

5. In a wind deflector, in combination, a front member having an upwardly extended slot in each lower end portion, an angularly positioned end member carried by each end an inwardly extended prong carried by each of the. front member, and two Uashaped fastening means a portion of each of which is capable of passing through a said slot andcapable of slid-able movement along the end 7 capable of slidable movement along the end member to position the deflector in angular position with respect to a window frame to which the U-shaped member is attachedthe sides of the U-shaped member having a plurality of aligned holes and an inwardly ex tended prong carried by each U-shaped member capable of movement'within a said end member groove, I p
